how much more you must water your ENTIRE area for the driest sections to receive
sufficient water. The lower the SC, the better the spray heads distribute water.

Operating Range
•Spacing: 5 to 15 feet (1,8 to 4,6 m)
•Pressure: 15 to 30 psi (1,0 to 2,1 bars)
•Optimum pressure: 30 psi (2,1 bars)*
* Rain Bird recommends using 1800 PRS spray heads to maintain optimum
nozzle performance in higher pressure situations.

U-Series Nozzle

How To Specify
1804 - U 12H U-Series Nozzle

Better, more uniform water distribution.


Water flowing from both orifices
Nozzle Series/Pattern combines to form a continuous water
U12H
12 Series stream. Eliminates gaps for more

•Easily installed in new and retrofit applications. Simply replace
standard screen with PCS screen.
* With a pressure compensator, outlet pressure will be reduced, but will fluctuate
as the inlet pressure changes. A pressure compensator cannot maintain outlet
pressure at a constant rate. A pressure regulator establishes and maintains a
constant outlet pressure of 30 psi (2,1 bars) as long as the inlet pressure at the spray
head is greater than 30 psi (2,1 bars).

TSJ Series
Swing Joints

 Double O-ring seals keep water in and dirt out, ensuring joints are
kept clean and can be repositioned more easily.

 All Rain Bird swing joints feature superior flow characteristics


through an innovative swept elbow design that reduces pressure
losses by over 50% compared to other swing joint designs.

 Patented pressure relief vent allows trapped water to escape from


the joint threads, preventing O-ring damage or extrusion.

Features
•High operating pressure rating (315 psi) is perfect for use in constant
pressure situations.
•Excellent structural integrity from the swept elbow design reduces
the costs associated with fatigue-related failures.
•Oversized threaded inlets and large visible stops make
hand-tightening simple.
•Spigot inlet available on 1" swing joints.

Operating Range
•Pressure Rating: 315 psi (21,7 bars) @ 73° F (22,8° C)
• 3⁄4" TSJ pressure loss: 0.3 psi (0,02 bar) at 6 GPM (0,4 l/s) TSJ-12075, TSJ-12, TSJ-12SPGT,

TSJ-PRS Series
Pressure Regulating Swing Joints

 Maintains a constant, uniform pressure into the rotor regardless of


nozzle used.

 Saves water by reducing misting, fogging, and other performance


problems caused by high pressure.

 All the great features of the Rain Bird Turf Swing Joint combined
with a pressure regulating outlet elbow.

Features
•Regulation pressures are preset to a nominal value for each TSJ-PRS:
• 45 psi (3,1 bars) for 3⁄4" swing joint.
• 70 psi (4,8 bars) for 1" swing joint.
•Allows each rotor on a zone to operate at the same pressure,
improving consistency and overall system performance.
•Installs quickly and easily, like all Rain Bird turf swing joints.

Building on an industry-first foundation. Central Controls

On December 18, 1933, a request was filed for a patent on a device described as a spring-

activated horizontal impact arm-driven sprinkler. Once granted, Rain Bird was up and

running with the industry's first impact sprinkler. Decades later, Rain Bird continues to Commercial
Pump Stations
make history with impact sprinklers that reliably and durably elevate the standard for

efficient water management.

PRS-Dial
Pressure Regulating Module

 The PRS-Dial is an excellent means of regulating outlet pressure at


PRS-D cutaway
the valve regardless of incoming pressure fluctuations. The visible
scale makes adjustment quick and easy. The regulator fits all
Rain Bird PGA, PEB, PESB, PESB-R, GB, EFB-CP, BPE and BPES
series valves.

 Regulates and maintains constant outlet pressure between 15 and


100 psi (1,04 to 6,90 bars) within ±3 psi (±0,21 bars).

 Adjustment knob with detents permits fine-tune setting in 1⁄3 psi


(0,02 bar) increments. Dial cartridge makes installation and
adjustment quick, easy and accurate.

Features
•Improved spike reduction capabilities reduce water hammer.
•Ergonomic design with snap-tight cover to prevent vandalism.
•Waterproof dial cartridge eliminates fogging and binding.
•Dial cartridge retrofits into all existing PRS-B units.
•Schrader valve connects pressure hose gauge, ordered separately.
•Easy field installation. PRS-Dial threads underneath the solenoid
and adapter.
•Corrosion-resistant glass-filled nylon for rugged performance.

Valve Wire Sizing Procedure

Step 1
Determine actual distance, along wire run, from controller out to
the first valve on a circuit and between each succeeding valve on a
multiple valve circuit (as shown in example below). Example:
(Two watt solenoid, 26.5 volt transformer at 150 psi water pressure
at valves.)

Step 2
Calculate the equivalent circuit length for each valve circuit on the
controller. (See chart on following page)

Step 3
Selecting Common Ground Wire Size: Using the longest equivalent
length calculated above, go to the appropriate valve chart and select a
ground wire and a control wire that are as close to the same size as
possible (the ground wire size should always be equal to or one size
larger than the control wire size.) In the example above, the circuit for
station #3 has the longest equivalent length, 7000 feet. In the chart (for
this example use the high pressure chart for 150 psi water pressure at
the valve and a 26.5 volt transformer) select a wire size combination of
size 14 and 12 wire. Select common ground wire as size 12 wire. Since
one common ground wire shall be used for all valves on the controller,
you have now established the common ground wire size for that
controller as size 12 wire.

Step 4
Sizing Circuit Control Wires: Using the common ground wire size
selected in Step 3 (size 12), proceed to select each control wire
size from the chart using the calculated equivalent length for
each circuit.

Station #1: Equiv. Length = 1 valve x 2000 ft. = 2000 ft.


select size 18 control wire
Station #2: Equiv. Length = (1 valve x 1000 ft.)
+ (2 valves x 2000 ft.) = 5000 ft. select size 16 control wire
Station #3: Equiv. Length = (1 valve x 500 ft.) + (2 valves x 1000 ft.) + (3
valves x 1500 ft.) =7000 ft. select size 14 control wire

Landscape Dripline

Landscape Dripline
Easy to install, pressure-compensating inline emitter tubing used to
irrigate ground cover, mixed plantings, hedge rows and more.

 Superior clog resistance ensures plant health and reduces


maintenance.

 Longer runs can be irrigated with higher uniformity through


consistent flow rates over the entire lateral length.

 Dual-layered tubing (brown over black or purple over black)


provides unmatched resistance to chemicals, UV damage and
algae growth.
Landscape Dripline

Features
•Choice of flow rates, spacing and coil lengths provides design
flexibility for a variety of non-turfgrass applications.
•Rain Bird’s patented ADI emitter (Advanced Drip Inline) pressure
compensates by “lengthening” the emitter’s turbulent flow path
instead of reducing the cross-sectional area of the emitter’s flow path.
The result is unsurpassed clog-resistance over the long term.
•Cylindrical shape of Rain Bird’s ADI emitter “welds” to the inner
ADI Emitter circumference of the polyethylene tubing, creating a physical barrier
that keeps the emitter cover and silicone wafer securely in place.
•Cylindrical design of Rain Bird’s ADI emitter provides surface area for
filtration throughout 360° of its inner circumference.
Flow Rate (GPM) per 100 feet of tubing •Dual outlet ports on every Rain Bird inline emitter act in
combination as a micro air vacuum relief valve.
12" 18" 24" •Use an Air Relief Valve Kit when installation is below soil (see p. 240).

•Custom Spacing Available; contact a Rain Bird sales representative for

Rain Bird Irrigation Supplement - Temporary or supplemental
irrigation for indoor and outdoor plant use

 Irrigation Supplement is water bound in the form of a solid gel.

 Ideal for use in establishing native plant material where permanent


irrigation in not required or supplemental irrigation for
containerized plants.

 Helps increase survival rates of transplants by providing


continuous moisture needed to reduce the stress of relocation.

Features
•All natural, non-toxic, harmless to humans and pets and 100%
degradable. IS-QT
•Helps new transplants become established in existing landscapes.
-Existing vegetation is not subjected to over-watering while trying IS-QT-SL
to establish the new plant, and the new plant has its own source of
water until it becomes established.
•The Perforated Tube and Gel Pack (ISPT) provides an alternate
delivery mechanism allowing fewer units per plant providing three
times the moisture therefore lasts 30 days. NEW
-The increase in moisture delivery allows for longer intervals
between watering cycles for containerized plants, hanging baskets
and streetscapes.
•Disperses water at a consistent rate with a 90-day or a 30-day
application.
-Bacteria naturally found in soil gradually break down the food
grade ingredients and convert RBIS back into liquid water at a
consistent and steady release rate. With the amount of surface area
of the gel exposed to the soil bacteria, the IS-QT and IS-TG deliver
moisture up to 90 days. The IS-PT allows more surface area IS-TG
exposure through the perforations to deliver moisture at a faster
rate for a period of 30 days. IS-PT
•The 2” Gel Pack is designed for easy application requiring no
repotting.
-IS-GP30 is the preferred product for use in seasonal plants, small
hanging baskets and window boxes.
•Provides moisture around the clock to the root zone.
-The capillary activity in the soil carries and maintains moisture
throughout the root zone for an extended period of time.
•Rain Bird Irrigation Supplement eliminates evaporation, run-off, and
leaching through this efficient, sub-surface, slow release delivery
method.
•Requires little to no maintenance and disperses moisture around
the clock. IS-GP
